Nice lookin rifle keat and cool thread. What distance on the rapid fire?

Its 30ft (max defensive distance) standing from the low ready 2-3 rounds at a time. It helps increase sight alignment speed, muzzle control, and safety manipulation. It also lets you know real quick if your grip and stance are off. More or less a muscle memory drill.

I just ordered a CNC Warrior brake from Cechpoint-USA. I did a search on brakes and it received decent reviews. Someone stated he experienced slight downward movement. I have heard this mentioned about the BC and it works well for me. Hopfully it'll take some of the harshness out of this thing. Being a pound lighter than the AK47 but using the same round makes a difference in recoil. I guess we'll see.

I can see your cheek being sore. Those folding stocks have a certain 'cool' to them, but they stink as butt stocks for aimed fire.

Try making sure the stock is well into your shoulder and watch how the stock rotates up and whacks your face. Full wooden stocks have less tendency to do that. Not that wooden stocks can't beat one's face.

Does this thing run a modified overhead gas piston based on the Simonov - Kalashnikov design? You say it's not an AK, but it looks to derive from that rifle.

I thought about getting one w/ a folding stock but went w/ a fixed stock then a week later added the AR style collapsible receiver extension and Magpul STR stock which has one of the best cheek welds of any stock on any firearm I have ever used. It's like a big fat pillow compared to the narrow fixed stock you'll find on any AK or AR.

I usually use a thumb-over grip but being as the irons are so close to bore my thumb interferes w/ my line of sight. I still am able to apply quite a bit of rearward pressure but it isn't as easy to keep the muzzle flat like on my ARs. Then again they all have brakes and 12-13" rails. Plus I don't have near the time behind this Czech rifle like I do an AR. At only 6.5 pounds I'll learn to like it .

The bolt more or less rides on top of the receiver. It is a completely different design for sure. Short stroke piston, completely different bolt, etc.
